RDM Device List
Before you can start using the RDM Device List, you must first enable {RDM} for the
appropriate DMX ports in Setup > System > Output, or for the appropriate ethernet ports in
the Network ECU tab. By default RDM is disabled. See
Output (on page 207) or Interface
Protocols (on page 557) If using Network RDM, this must be done via an ETC Net3 Gateway
and RDM must also be enabled on the DMX ports of the Gateway. The Gateway needs to be
running version 5.1 or newer.
Open the RDM Device List while in the patch display by pressing {Device List}> {RDM}.
You will need to make sure that {Device Discovery} is enabled.
{Device Discovery} is disabled by default. The {Device Discovery} option will not display if
{RDM} is disabled in the ECU.
Note:
{Device Discovery} will automatically disable when you leave the patch
display.
When the RDM device list is opened, the devices will be displayed in Patch by Address mode.
At the top of the list is a RDM indicator. This indicator shows incoming and outgoing RDM
traffic.
Eos will display the following information that it receives from the RDM devices:
•
Address (a part will be added if multiple devices are discovered with the same address)
•
Channel
•
